Get ready for a night of swing, dancing, and big band music with KZFR and the Chico Swing Band! Chico Swing Band is a 16-piece big band with a rollicking repertoire from the 1930s, ’40s, and beyond. Expect swing, bop, Latin rhythms, fast foxtrots, and the unmistakable sounds of the great big-band era. The band brings the music of Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, the Dorseys, and more vividly back to life. “Nobody leaves a Chico Swing Band performance unhappy.” Join us Saturday, October 3 at St. John’s Annex in Chico for an evening featuring the sounds of the 1930s, ’40s, and beyond. The Chico Swing Band is a 16-piece big band performing a lively mix of swing, bop, Latin, fast foxtrots, and more, recalling the music of Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, and the Dorseys. Doors open at 6pm, and the evening starts with swing dance lessons at 6:15 PM, so whether you already know your way around the dance floor or are giving swing dancing a try for the first time, come early and join in.
